I'm glad you avoided more confrontation last night. This weekend is a minefield for both of you because you both know that you were supposed to go to Retrouvaille. For you, it's a big disappointment because he reneged on a promise and your birthday present. For him, he is a "bad boy" and he knows it, he got away with doing what he wanted, not what he "should" do, and he thumbed his nose at the big bad controlling wife. So, this is not the weekend to be with him. Period. Get out of there, just as you are planning to do.
